The Conner File

The 6-foot-3, 225 pound linebacker has been patient while he's waited, but his confidence has never waned. He believed that Ohio State would recognize that his skills — and the person he is off the field — made him an excellent fit for what Urban Meyer is trying to accomplish in Columbus.

"I know once they get to know me and who I am and how I do things it will work out," Conner told Eleven Warriors. "I know they've been wanting me to continue working on my speed and I have been."

It appears that Conner has shown Meyer and his staff what they needed to see after a mid-week camp performance and he couldn't be happier to be a Buckeye. It's the culmination of years of hard work, with everything pointed to this one moment.
